"Herring twangs, plucks, and warbles like country singers of yore, gun-slingin' her guitar with a clear-headed progressive attitude and the "don't-mess-with-me" swagger of a true outlaw. Her brand of homegrown country pickin' defines America not just for the Red Staters, but for every single one of us" -The Portland Mercury"Alternately upbeat and bluesy, she brings a bespectacled chic to her unique yet authentic Texas country twang. Emitting gritty growls without being grating, Herring dons a nonchalantly fashionable straw hat and melds pretty high notes and skillful plucking with a strong American roots base." -Alley Hector, Just Out
"Her playing is what seals the deal. a mean Delta feel complete with the slide guitar."- Jason MacNeil, Pop Matters Magazine
"It's refreshing to hear something so out of the ordinary for a change."
- J.R. Oliver, Ear Candy Magazine
"Authentic and original and Emily Herring is echoing country's past for future generations!"
-Laura Turner Lynch, Kweevak Magzine
"Emily Herring weaves songs out of a bluesy country fabric that is so much a part of Central Texas. In a sea of sound-alike singer/songwriters, Herring demands to be heard."
-Phil Bailey,Ink 19 Magazine
"Herring is an original voice doing extraordinary things in the simplest terms. A big plate of Texas Country with a side of Delta Blues."- City Beat, Cincinnati
"Maria Muldaur singing delta blues & country. Dirty and gritty, damned if she don't get it done."- Hybrid Magazine
"You'll hear hints of Merle Haggard and Lucinda Williams in this tattooed, bespectacled blues-country artist's work. Go on and slide up and down that guitar neck with your bad self, Miss Girl."-Nancy Ford, Outsmart Magazine
"The songs are minimal and simple, yet they are glorified by their authentic representation of the old-country troubadorian spirit." -Ryan Hoffer, Shut Eye Records
